This is NOT an LED Display!
Added 2022-03-30 20:03:18 +0000 UTCAnother rare orphan display from IEE that sought to offer an affordable (and possible) option for a digital display that looks like it's LED but is in fact incandescent. A fraction of the power requirements of what an LED equivalent would have been in the mid-70's, but strangely designed to be non-serviceable. A brief stop-gap measure on the way to cheap high brightness LED displays that came a decade later. Enjoy!

Maybe.... but I'd expect multiple digits.
